Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The refit of the boat Squib involves fabricating a custom water heater housing, installing interior insulation, and determining the mounting positions for an electric outboard motor and a helm seat. The crew constructs the water heater enclosure using fiberglass matting and thickened epoxy, leaving an opening at the bottom to pack the internal voids with sheep's wool for insulation.Watch After a 48-hour curing period, the unit is sanded and sealed.12:14
Work on the interior includes applying Armaflex insulation to the hull and bonding wooden mounting strips to the deck to facilitate the installation of future interior panels.7:37 The crew determines the height for a new helm seat by calculating the difference between the operator's seated eye level and the required clearance for a beverage cooler positioned beneath the seat.20:40 Additionally, the team tests the engine, confirming it runs briefly on residual fuel, and marks the transom for the electric outboard motor mount.15:31 The project requires iterative measurements and adjustments to ensure the motor can be removed and the cooler remains accessible.21:52
